Personal hygiene are behaviors that must be practiced in daily life, starting from morning to sleep time to protect our health. The food we eat, how we maintain our physical cleanliness, physical activity, and safe sexual relationships all have a significant impact on keeping excellent physical health.
Personal hygiene is intimately involved with health. Lack of personal hygiene can lead to parasites, worms, scabies, blisters, tooth decay, diarrhea, and dysentery. Cleanliness is a major factor in preventing all of these illnesses.
